Enjoyed watching this on a hot & humid day in Florida.
You’re a darling, personality shine through today, and I think it was the first time in all the videos I’ve watched of you. You’re admitted to getting flustered, and you admitted that you can make mistakes when you’re flustered or you’re too quiet or you say too much. That is wonderful. Creative people are that way. I loved your techniques and thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for your comments. I needed this today.
I love ice dyeing. The outcome is always so different and unexpected. It’s like getting a fantastic surprise gift at Christmastime.
Just watched your video and found it very informative. I’ve done snow dying because I live in Minnesota where 6 months out of the year it is very abundant. It’s very similar to ice dying. I can’t wait until next Saturday to see your results of the jar/ice dying.
When I snow or ice dye, I like to put a piece of fabric in the bottom of the pan to absorb the dye that drains to the bottom of the pan. I call it a dye mop and it can result in some beautiful pieces of fabric.
I'm going to try that this time.
I do snow dyeing, and I usually use three layers: the top & middle are drained and the bottom is a mop. I like to make the most of the available snow (highly variable here) and space, so I make these somewhat-wobbly towers of tubs, colanders, and screens to hold & separate the layers. Sometimes I add additional dye to the middle layer, sometimes an additional color, so it gets the additional dye plus whatever drips from the top layer.
@@nightstitcher3866 There are so many variables and ways of doing this dyeing. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I love the idea of a wobbly tower.
I did some ice dying after a snow storm last winter which worked well. I just did some with fabric that was soaking for months. The soda ash keeps organisms from growing. Shibori techniques can be used to make patterns.
You still need soda ash - sodium carbonate- with PFD fabric. You just don’t need to prewash PDF like you would with your regular quilting cottons.
That is good to know. I do which the kit came with PFD fabric, but I purchased it anyway.
Can’t wait to get my kit!
It would be nice to have a list of materials needed in the description including a bucket, dyes, fabric types, etc.
I will make that suggestion. Let me know if you still need it and I can email you a supply list. My email is listed on the screen.
Would it work if I used white on white star fabric? Would that little soft ice from Sonic work?
I’ve done that and like the results. The cotton takes the dye and the printed design doesn’t so you see the pattern, more or less. Sometimes the back is interesting. Over dying colors can give very good results too.
Yes it works but where the paint is on the white on white fabric will not dye which makes it really cool..
I find that the type of white-on-white pattern makes a big difference. A small pattern with a lot of paint vs. unpainted fabric sort of "takes over" from the snow or ice-related patterns, while one that leaves a lot of unpainted fabric enhances the look of the patterns. It's fun to experiment with different ones to see what happens.
The kits are sold out right now.
Are those marbles at 23:42? I didn't hear an explanation of this part.
Yes, those are marbles and I used them to lift the fabric out of the gunk water so I would get purer color. I have also dyed fabric in the gunk and it has come out beautifully, (sometimes).
@@deechristopherquilting6672 Do the results look different from those you get with the sieve, or is it mostly just an option for use with a smaller container?
@@nightstitcher3866 For me it is just an option. I did not notice a difference.
I highly suggest latex cleaning gloves, not the thin food service gloves. One teeny hole gives you colorful hands! I'd also recommend a better mask for the fine particles of dry dye.
You don't rinse the fabric coming out of soda ash - squeeze it out!
With ice dyeing, do you want to prevent the melted ice water from touching the fabric on the bottom?
Yes. That is the reason for the cooling rack to raise it up high enough off the water.
